:: notes ::

A very busy weekend (hiking, cooking, puppies, superbowl party) followed by a much more mellow one. After a fairly hellish work week, I got a full Saturday to myself and it was amazing. I ate an entire batch of tapioca pudding, watched the final disc of Friday Night Lights (so satisfying!), played with paper, and then later ordered myself a giant hamburger for dinner. People always talk about gaining weight when they move in with someone but if I'm stressed and left to my own devices my eating can get out of control. It's far too embarrassing to do the same thing if you have a witness, so I'm forced to exercise some restraint most of the time.

On Sunday we bused it downtown for the Barney's Warehouse sale and accidentally ran into the Grammys - it was a madhouse down there. We booked it over to Mas Malo, which has one of the best happy hours in town, as I believe I've mentioned before. We rolled home full and just slightly tipsy and went to bed early.

As if there's not enough jealousy over the fresh oranges and amazing Mexican food you have in Cali, you "accidentally ran into the Grammys" haha. My boyfriend is trying to get me to leave the East Coast (and my family) and move to CA, and these photos may have swung things a little more his way! P.S., again, love your dogs. Snowy sure knew what he was doing when he wandered your parents' way! :)

Definitely no need for jealousy about the Grammys! They keep it pretty well blocked off, so you can't see anyone famous, you're just stuck trudging through sidewalks of random people *trying* to catch a glimpse of someone famous.

That's my recipe binder! I used to print out all the recipes I wanted to try and then put them in the binder. Now I tend to Pinterest recipes I want to try and only print them out once I know I like them. The ones I love get organized into the binder in clear sheet protectors and I pull them out when I need to use them. It's a simple system, but I like having all of my recipes ready to use and easy to access all the time.

Is that a bowl with a spoon groove? Such a clever idea! I hate when my spoon falls so far into my cereal/soup/chili/what-have-you that I have to wash it before I continue eating. May I ask where you got it?
